Abstract: 

Privacy for Inmates’ Confidential Medical Information, Moore v. Prevo. Moore claimed that a prison nurse and two corrections offi cers told one inmate that Moore was HIV positive and that an inspector asked another inmate if he knew that Moore had a sexually transmitted disease. In Seaton v. Mayberg, 2010 U.S. App. LEXIS 13335 (9th Cir. June 30, 2010), the Ninth Circuit addressed the issue of whether an inmate had a constitutional protected privacy interest in prison treatment records when the state alleged a legitimate penological interest in providing access to such records. Permissible Delay in Treatment Ryan Rohrbaugh was incarcerated at the State Correctional Institution–Albion in Pennsylvania on September 27, 2003, when he was diagnosed with a malignant melanoma “with invasion of at least the reticular dermis.”
